Does Linking Input Controls work in 3.7.2 version?

[ronedog]

I downloaded iReport version 3.7.2 and created a new report and wanted to link the existing Input Controls to some other reports, rather than have to keep retyping the same thing for the new reports.  I can see where the option is there, but when I go through the wizard to link the control from an existing report I get a message saying "<report_name> is not an input control", but there are no other options to drill down further in the folder popup and select anything else?

I read some other posts where this worked in an earlier version, then it got forgotten about in version 3.0, but got put back down the road.  Has it gotten forgotten about again in 3.7.2?

If anyone out there is able to do this in 3.7.2, please chime in and let me know and I'll look for some other problems.

I downloaded the .exe installer for windows...this is running on windows vista.

Thanks.
